More Lemons from Apple

ipod More Lemons from AppleWe’ve all heard about my lemon from Apple Computer. The very day I got my replacement computer I set my iPod down on top of my digital camera while sync-ing with my new machine, and destroyed it!

You heard me correctly!

The iPod (30GB Video) was fried by a digital camera. Actually, the camera was in a small leather case with a tiny magnet used to close the case. I guess this TINY magnet crushed the crap hard drive located within my shiny iPod.

While I’ve loved my iPod since I got it for my birthday this year, I have to say that if a POS magnet can fry the thing, then it is a real POS itself!

Back to the Apple Store . . .

Once again, I found myself at the Apple store — I think they know my name now — and they replaced my iPod on the spot! I do have to say that the customer service at Apple is tops!

Now that I can’t live without the crack-like devices from this company, maybe it is time to start looking at some shares of the stock . . . hmmm?

    That is good customer service! Glad it’s all sorted. I have had a handful of problems with Apple computers but never with my iPods…… fingers crossed!

    Hey John. They do have great customer service! Just keep your iPod away from any speakers, magnets, small children, or animals with sharp claws.
